I want my life to be a reflection, or mirror of God. This blog is stuff that is going on in my life and lessions God is teaching me. My prayer is that I am a reflection of Him.

This little light of mine

St. Francis of Assisi once said, "Preach the gospel always, If necessary use words". Over the past week I got to experience what he meant. I drove up to see my aunt and uncle in WI this past weekend. I had a great time with them, and enjoyed the trip. However, there was just one little problem. We had totally different worldviews. I am a Christian and a creationist and they are both atheists and evolutionist. For those of you who know me probably know that I am very outspoken, but this weekend I was told not to say anything, concerning "religion or worldview". This for me, listening to my faith and values being attacked and not "fighting back" was really hard. I was talking to a good friend of mine about the whole thing and he reminded me that we need to be a light by things other than just our speech. You may not have the chance to give your boss the gospel, but you can witness to him by not joining the office gossip. You may have a close friend who may not come to church, but you can show her Jesus by being a friend to her when everyone else turns their backs. You may not always be able to vocally share you faith, but I pray you will continue to let you light shine for Him.

A little about the blogger

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog. My name is Kaytlynn, but most people have some other nick-name they call me (I think I have about 9 or 10 by now). However, you can call me whatever you'd like. I go to public school, am involved in Swimming, Theatre, Student Council, and the Underground/Persecuted Church. I love doing event coordination, and think it would be amazing to get to travel and speak to teen girls about Purity and True Beauty. Lord willing though, I plan to become a teacher one day (more specifically, once I finish high school). If you have any questions about anything I’ve written, you can email me at smilingalldaylong@gmail.com. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
